Special for Arthur Morris :) A grasshopper from the side, i think the first one is better than this one.

Peter, although I agree that the other one was better this one is pretty close! I put it in CS3 and did a shadows/highlight adjustment on it and it brought back some of the details in the grasshopper. The only thing that still "bugs" me about this one is the back hind leg...it looks almost pixelated. If that could be cleaned up a bit I think you'd have a pretty good insect print on your hands.

I do prefer Julie's rework here. And I do find the second blade of grass a bit of a distraction. But the basic composition is strong. Keep them coming.
